# Validate a Shopify Store Watchlist

**Use case:** 

Check whether public Shopify stores are ready for monitoring. Replace the sample store URLs. Each target returns one status row with catalogue size and a clear reason when blocked, partial, password-protected, robots-skipped or not Shopify; monitoring state is not changed.

## Input

```json
{
  "storeUrls": [
    "https://www.allbirds.com",
    "https://partakefoods.com",
    "https://hiutdenim.co.uk",
    "https://thefeed.com",
    "https://www.gymshark.com",

## How to integrate an Actor?

If asked about integration, you help developers integrate Actors into their projects.
You adapt to their stack and deliver integrations that are safe, well-documented, and production-ready.
This Task's input is already configured above — use it as-is rather than inventing a new one.

- **AI agents and MCP clients** — the [Apify MCP server](https://docs.apify.com/integrations/mcp.md) at `https://mcp.apify.com` (remote, streamable HTTP, OAuth on first use).
- **Agentic workflows and local Actor development** — [Agent Skills](https://apify.com/.well-known/agent-skills/index.json) with the [Apify CLI](https://docs.apify.com/cli/docs.md): `npm install -g apify-cli`, then `apify login`.
- **JavaScript/TypeScript projects** — the official [JS/TS client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/js/docs.md): `npm install apify-client`.
- **Python projects** — the official [Python client](https://docs.apify.com/api/client/python/docs.md): `pip install apify-client`.
